Roles

The roles of the AP-S TC on Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) are to advance the theoretical, numerical and applied aspects of computational methods for solving electromagnetic problems in antennas and propagation, as well as in related areas of science and technology that leverage electromagnetic effects. The committee fosters collaboration among researchers, practitioners, and industries by organizing special sessions, workshops, and panels at IEEE AP-S conferences and related events. It promotes the development of standardized benchmarks, open datasets, and reproducible problems to enable fair comparisons and accelerate innovation in CEM. The TC also supports the integration of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and multi-physics simulation, into computational electromagnetics. Additionally, it aims to recognize and disseminate novel contributions, encourage diversity and inclusivity within the community, and bridge gaps between academia and industry for practical applications of CEM advancements.
